Falling Out

By -
Day 1,
I looked back...
A few footsteps from here
Not too far yet not too near
Still, I don't understand how
How I can look at you now
And still not see you.

Day 2,
I tried to tell you...
You listened but weren't paying attention
Bodies intertwined as souls fought to repel
Still, I don understand one minor thing
How could you be so calm
As it stormed on all realms of our love?

Day 3,
I wrote it down
Every bit of hurt, every bit of pain,
I let ink and paper be the judge of character
My face leaked droplets of devotion
Cleansing my soul of addiction
It's a good sign, isn't it?

Day 4,
I walked towards the door
but my feet glued themselves to your floor
couldn't move a muscle, I couldn't flinch,
but effortlessly let my thoughts wander,
My muscles tensed, and I'm giving up.
Wait, is this the end? 
But it can't be.
Right?

Day 5
I'm still breathing
Pumping air into a lifeless doll
morning sunshine yet I'm a darkened soul
You made sure I lost the spark
How could u walk so fast
Knowing I can't keep up

Day 6...

Day 6...

Six days is a lot...

Isn't it?

Soft Spot

Welcome back to my blog. If it's your first time here don't worry, this is also my first time being a little serious with it. Therefore, my guess is that you haven't missed much. Today's poem is titled Soft Spot. Having a soft spot for something means having a strong afffection or liking towards that thing. This can make you do things you wouldn't normally do. We all have a soft spot for something anyway, right? Or  even someone. Do you think that having a soft spot for something is a weakness or is it a strength? I'm curious, do you have a soft spot for someone? Or something?  I hope you'll enjoy my poem                                                            SOFT SPOT           It's a soft spot for a bleeding soul Did I tell you about my secret? About the desires in my heart? Was I honest or did i cheat? Cause there are plenty of whom I've hurt. Did I tell you i'm cold yet hot? Or that I'd burn and break you without

BINTI FROM ABROAD

"She says Kitula is so barbaric, she goes by the name of Angel" -Binti from Abroad Welcome back to my  blog everybody. As an African writer, I've decided to try something new. I have started a hashtag #AfricanTuesdays where I'll be posting an African-themed poem every Tuesday. So welcome to my first #AfricanTuesdays ever. What do I expect to gain out of this? Well, I'm glad you asked. Being from Tanzania and all, I haven't been able to get the African feeling in most of the poems out there. Don't get me wrong, I know a couple African writers who strive to add that African feel in their poems. Well, I wanted to be one of those. I want to create a space where Africans can read something they can relate to not only emotionally but also culturally.  I mean think about it, Africa to the world. Okay, stop fantasizing now and let's get on with the poem. Today's #AfricanTuesdays Poem is titled BINTI FROM ABROAD. For some reason binti happens
